the next day
7:28 am

Cha young went downstairs in her parent's grand residence she stays there although she bought a penthouse as a gift for her birthday she stays here since  she doesn't like being away from her parents especially after her sister Hong jiho got married she didn't wanna leave them alone  and also her sister is  currently in the third trimester of her pregnancy so she stays at her parent's house cha young is also very excited to meet her future niece yes jiho is having a girl with her husband it always has been cha young's dream to become an
" Imo" 

so when she went to the dinning room she saw the sight she's been seeing for 6 months now Jiho eating she smiled when she saw her eating viciously

she went to her patted her back and said " slowly eonni " she tried so hard not laugh at her sister when she tried to eat but her mouth was full she waited for her to swallow and handed her a napkin from the table and asked her " where's mom " she pointed towards the back garden and resumed eating without saying a word which caused cha young to chuckle and head to the garden she saw her mom watering the plants she went behind her hugged her from behind her mom

Sori  her mom smiled knowing who it was and  "finally you're awake " asked "isn't it to early to be here watering? and why didn't you let Aunt kim do it ?"  Asked cha young , her mom put down the pot she was holding , freed her self from cha young and turned around to look at her and stroked her hair  "honey you know that I like doing it  myself "

" ok but remember to rest , let's go inside i want to tell you something " "you're scaring me what is it ?" "it's nothing to be scared of mom let's go inside first please "

they went inside and joined Jiho on the dinning table cha young sat infront of her mom who sat next to her first daughter  she took a deep breath debating whether it's the right time or not

she started " I'm going to Italy in two weeks to replace Du shik and i don't know how long I'm gonna stay there "

her mom just stared at her without saying anything which made cha young nervous and Jiho was shocked everyone knew how much cha young was attached to her parents  "what do yo mean ?" her mom finally said "like Du shik he has been gone for years ?"

" well mom not like that you know I can't stand it being away from you I'll be here every few weeks that you'll not even have time to miss me and it will only take a couple of months and I'll come back and stay her for good "

"I promise "
"ok honey up to you " her sori said even though she was nervous and somewhat scared but she feels like she has to let cha young go out in the world which is somthing she hasn't done since cha young came back from England it's like Deja vu especially for a mom

**********

three weeks later

Hong cha young arrived in Italy after a 12 hour flight she went to the hotel Miri booked for her she didn't agree to stay in Du shik's house so she decided to stay in a hotel until she finds a suitable place for her she's very picky and fussy when it comes to these things .

she already misses home but she can only stay here and hope that her brother finishes quickly

as soon as she arrived at the hotel she took a shower and went to sleep

when she woke up she was welcomed by the amazing scenery from her hotel room it was six in the morning she ordered breakfast to room since she's alone and Young ro will join her after a few days she's still looking for her dad this is her only chance at looking for him and cha young was understanding about it

she had breakfast while reviewing contracts but her priority right now is the new hotel project  her in Italy the one Du shik was handling before he got all crazy about love

to be honest cha young doesn't understand why people do stupid stuff when the fall in love now she has to take over the hotel and this is the first one they open in Italy so she has to handle the remaining of the hotel and open it in just a few months she wants to get things done quickly so that she can return home

as she was reading her emails Du shik called her " annyeong Cha young ahh " said du shik " ohh oppa what is it "

"how are you ? how are you liking Italy ?" " it's ok "replied cha shortly not loosing focus from her tablet
"aish whatever i wanted to tell you that there is a party next month and I'm invited which means that you have to go " he said " no i don't " replied cha "yah speak to me nicely i'm older than you " " sure lover "

"aish you have to go there are a lot of important people there " "as important as us ?" asked cha young "yes maybe even more important than us "

" I'll think about it " said cha young "I'll sent you the invite "  said Du shik " I said I'll think about it "  said cha young annoyed with all that Du shik is making her do
" cha I'm counting on you make me proud " he said " I'm still not convinced but if I have time then fine " she said " love you cha you're the best " said du shik "I know "
